Lyrics:
/ Iris
A thousand steps
/ Paperman
Obviously
/ Iris
The Jewish cemetery
/ Paperman
It may come in handy
/ Iris
Let me get him. Your heart
/ Paperman
Stay here
/
A thousand steps to nowhere
That is all I see This night is asking questions Where and what for me
/
A thousand miles from Henny
Who warned me from the start
I feel foolhardy, I miss Sardi’s
Thought I was so smart
/ Chorus
Down is up, up is down
That’s just life in Kinja town
The natives and the castaways
That’s just life for me these days
/ Henny
I’ve had it with this weather
My skin is pale as bleach
I’m heading back to Kinja
And stretch out on the beach
/
My past is in these boxes
All clean and neatly packed
No time for sorrow, I leave tomorrow
There’s no turning back
/
No turning back, I’m island bound
/
I want to turn from white to brown
Sing and dance to calypso songs
Trade in this mink for a pink sarong
/ Iris
I really do admire him
And what he’s taking on
This island and these crazies
But I fear he’ll soon be gone
/
Can’t let myself fall for him
A terrible mistake
He’s got Henny,
I’m one too many
This time my heart could break
/ Chorus
A thousand steps to nowhere
That is all I see
/ Paperman
My heart is pounding madly
/ Iris
Mine too, won’t let me be
A thousand reasons not to
/ Paperman
Strange but oh so true
I’m behaving
/ Iris
You’re not past saving
A thing we both should do
/ Henny
Cause he’s happy
/ Duet
Down is up, up is down
/ Henny
I understand
/ Duet
That’s just life in Kinja town
/ Henny
Cause he’s my man
/ Duet
The natives and the castaways
That’s just life for us these days
/ Henny
Cause he’s happy
/ Duet
Down is up, up is down
/ Henny
I understand
/ Duet
That’s just life in Kinja town
/ Henny
Cause he’s my man
/ Duet
The natives and the castaways
/ Ensemble
That’s just life for us these days
That’s just life for us these days
/ Paperman
Gilbert come and prime the pump
